Titan Excavating is your local company you can trust. We have all the equipment necessary for any job you could ask for. No job too big or too small for us. We do everything from site clearing , driveways, grading , demolition and much more. We service a 100 mile radius and are open to working within the entire state. If you need us call today.

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

"Morning of 8/28 @ 8am I was told by Eric I was on that Day's schedule for service to be completed. Crew shows up at 4:30pm and cuts down tree leaving all the debris laying in the middle of the yard, And just leave the job unfinished. I reached out to Eric again with my concerns and asked when everything would get cleaned up, including stump removal. He assured me after a slight mechanical issue with one of the trucks, that his crew would be back later that night to remove the stump and clean up all the debris. Finally a guy shows up a couple hours later and removes the stump, this time leaving another HUGE mess of wood chips all over my yard, and all the tree debris just continued to lay in the middle of my yard untouched. And, once again, the guy just leaves with ZERO communication! I expressed my frustration to Eric, who continued to just makeup excuses. I told him I was dissatisfied with the quality of service and I'd be talking with the owner Jake. Eric became rude and unfriendly to work with. I spoke with Jake and explained the days events and my frustration with the quality of his crew. He too was rude and not willing to take responsibility for the poor quality. Worst at communication l. Will never use again or recommend"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

In Des Moines, be wary of tree service companies that lack proof of insurance, are not registered with the City of Des Moines, or refuse to provide written contracts. Avoid those who offer vague estimates, pressure for immediate decisions, or do not follow local permit requirements. Reputable arborists should provide local references, clear timelines, and demonstrate knowledge of city regulations and protected tree species.

Helpful?

In Des Moines, a permit from the City of Des Moines Forestry Division is required to remove or significantly prune any tree located in the public right-of-way, including street trees. Special approval is also needed for work involving heritage or landmark trees, as designated by city ordinance. Always check with the Des Moines Public Works Department before starting, especially if your project is near utility lines or involves protected species.

Helpful?

In Des Moines, unexpected costs during tree removal or trimming can include permit application fees required by the City of Des Moines, charges for utility line marking from local utility companies, and additional labor if invasive pests like emerald ash borer are found. If your property has limited access or requires special equipment, disposal and cleanup fees may also increase. Emergency tree service after storms can further impact overall costs.

Helpful?

After tree service in Des Moines, schedule annual inspections with a certified arborist to monitor for issues like Dutch elm disease or storm damage, which are common locally. Prune every two to three years, mulch to protect roots, and water deeply during dry Iowa summers. The City of Des Moines recommends checking for pest infestations seasonally and preparing trees for winter to reduce breakage from heavy snow and ice.

Helpful?

DIY tree removal in Des Moines may seem appealing, but improper techniques can damage native species like bur oak or violate city ordinances. Hiring a certified arborist ensures compliance with Des Moines regulations, proper disposal, and insurance coverage. However, you'll need to coordinate around their schedule and follow city permit requirements. Professionals also have experience with local weather impacts and common tree diseases.
